THE FREIGHT BUREAU.
An Exposition ot Its Workings and the
Benefits to be Dewed.
The New Orleans Bureau’s Operations
as Shown in the Report of Its Presi
dent—The Crescent City Reaching Out
Into Savannah's Territory on the
Florida Central and Peninsular.
Editor Morning News: While all the
people of Savannah may now, In a general
way. realise the need of a freight and
transportation bureau from what has been
written and told about the character of
such organizations, few, 1 am satisfied,
have the slightest Idea of the vast scope
embraced In their operations and the po
tential Influence exerted by them in pro
tecting and propagating the trade and
commerce of cities and how many cities
have, or are now . seeking, to provide
themselves with these Indispensable ad
juncts to commercial life and activity.
The first anniversary of the New Or
leans freight and transportation bureau
occurred Oct. 1, and on Oct. 3 the reports
of President Trufant of its board of
management and Commissioner M. H.
Masters in charge of the work, were pub
lished In the New Orleans Picayune. In
his report. President Trufaht, after gen
eralising the bureau's work, said:
“From this you will see that much more
has been accomplished, gentlemen, than
even the most sanguine could have an
ticipated, thanks to the honest, capable
work of our commissioner. The recogni
tion of his ability, his fairness and ear
nestness has brought to our assistance
the co-operation of the railroad lines cen
tering In this city, recognizing as they
do that, conducted upon the principles
outlined by the commissioner in a pre
vious report, the bureau must be of great
help to them in widening and extending
their traffic, to say nothing of the ad
vantage of dealing with organized com
merce. Every interest must stand to
gether. Let us bring such a pressure of
the united commerce of this port as will
wipe out any freight discriminations or
any hurtful legislation that may be found
to exist.”
Further on in the report, referring to
the bureau’s relation to other organiza
tions for the advancement ot the busi
ness interests of New Orleans, President
Trufant adds:
"The bureau of freight and transporta
tion has proved a much-needed adjunct
to each and every one of these organiza
tions, and has in the year past taken
up at different times for each the adjust
ment of freight rates and classification
with a view to assist in the promotion of
their interests.”
And again, as showing its value and im
portance to every class of citizens, the
president says: "The working out of the
purpose for which the bureau was organ
ized will therefore, beyond doubt, prove
of great benefit directly to our merchants
and bread-winners, and indirectly to our
property holders and capitalists.
The report of Commissioner W. 11. Mas
ters. which follows that of President Tru
fant. details at length the work of the
bureau in its volume and variety, com
prehending in their extent, as much con-,
cern in protesting against the “improper
handling of empty egg cases, etc.,” as in
demanding of powerful express compa
nies that New Orleans shall not be dis
criminated against in charges upon ex
press matter, as show’n by the succeeding
extract:
"Complaint Regarding Improper Han
dling of Empty Egg Cases, etc.—During
April one of the largest commission firms
in this city called our attention to trouble
they were having with their egg cases.
It seemß these empties were receiving
very little attention as regards proper
and prompt delivery and were roughly
handled. The company complained of was
the Wells-Fargo Express. The matter
was made a subject of correspondence
with Superintendent Chlsteson, of that
company, and we are pleased to state
that he manifested great Interest in the
matter, at once made a personal investi
gation of the trouble and applied the
proper remedies, resulting in much better
service and no further complaint.”
Express Charges—By reference to the
April report you will remember that brief
mention was made regarding express
rates from Now York to New Orleans,
which seemed to be excessive as com
pared with those to other cities—Chicago
and St. Louis, for instance. We after
wards went into this subject very thor
oughly and found first-class rates from
New York to Chicago to be $2,110, to St.
Louis $3 and to New Orleans $3 per 100
pounds. Based on both mileage and first
class freight rate from New York to those
cities, the express rate from New York to
New Orleans should be $3.88. However, we
asked for a rate of $4. In taking this mat
ter up with the express companies we
stated (and I believe correctly) that on
a rate of $4 enough additional business
would be handled to more than compen
sate for the reduction. The first-class rate
by steamer from New York is 70 cents
per 100 pounds. Goods shipped by express
are delivered, say, on the third day, while
those shipped by steamer on the fifth day.
In consideration, therefore, of the small
difference in time and the great differ
ence In rate, the steamers are, whenever
practicable, given the business. Com
munications were addressed to all the ex
press companies doing business' in this
city. The Pacific and Wells-Fargo com
panies replied that they had very little
interest in the matter, but would be will
ing to do whatever the American and
Southern Express companies thought
best. Considerable correspondence on the
subject has passed between the bureau
and the two last named companies, and
we now have the assurance that at the
next meeting of the traffic committee,
which is called fo meet in New York in
the near future, the matter will have con
sideration, resulting, we hope, in the $4
rate being established.
Cracker Rates—ln the latter part of
June one of our cracker manufacturers
called the attention of the bureau to the
fact that the rate on crackers, any quan
tity, from St. Louis to New Orleans was
35 cents, while from New Orleans to St.
Louis Is was 51 cents per 100 pounds. The
matter was taken typ by tho Illinois Cen
tral railroad, we claiming 1 that such a dis
crimination was entirely wrong, for the
reason that the raw mnterlal from which
crackers are made had to be brought to
this city, while with Bt. Louis they were
near at hand. After considering the mat
ter that company granted the relief asked
for by publishing the same rate to St.
Louis as applies southbound.
Rates, Coffee, to Cape Girardeau, Mo
In April laHt our attention was called to
the fact that the rate from New Orleans
to Capo Girardeau, Mo., eti coffee on car
load was 46 cents and less than a car load
M cents per 10® pounds. We took the mat
ter up and succeeded in securing a rate
of 25 cents on any quantity. This has re
sulted in establishing a market at that
Point for New Orleans coffee, and is an in
stance of how this city’s trade can grad
ually bg extended by proper effort.
Hates on Mineral Water—One of our
mineral water dealers kittled that he
thought the rate on mlneiul water from
Pocahontas. Miss., to this city was too
high compnred with rale* from other
points. After considerable correspondence
the Illinois Central management made a
reduction of 5 cents ver IrtO pounds. Tho
rates aro now more equitable as com
pared with those applying from other
Points.
"Cement Arbitration.—Early this year a
contention arose between tho Galveston
*nr| N-W Orleans lines hk to proinT dif
ferential to apply on cement from New
au acalnvt Oalveuton to Texa#
ccinmon point*, It being at that ttmj
10 ! j cents per 100 pounds. It was claimed
by the New Orleans lines that this was
much higher than conditions would jus
tify. The lines In interest being unable
to agree, the matter was submitted to ar
bitration, the arbitrators being J. N. Fai
thorn, Kicliatd Lord and your commis
sioners. The arbitrators met on May 13.
and after a thorough investigation de
cided that the proper ligure would' be 54
cents per 100 pounds, which was shortly
after put into effect. It is shown that
prior to the adoption of this differential
not exceeding 5 per cent, of the cement
going to Texas was shipped from New
Orleans. We are since advised by several
of our cement dealers that they are now
fairly able to compete with Galveston.”
"Fruit Hates.—We found during the last
month that the rate on apples in boxes, L.
C. L., from Grand .Junction, Tenn., to
New Orleans was 71 cents and to Chi
cago 48 cents per luO pounds. The dis
tance to New Orleans from Grand Junc
tion *s about 100 miles less than to Chi
cago. We immediately pointed out to
the Illinois Central this unjust difference,
and have their reply to the effect that the
movement for this season is over, but
that rates for next season will be proper
ly adjusted.”
Freight and transportation bureaus
have, wherever established, shown them
selves invaluable to their patrons in the
adjustment of claims against transpor
tation, alwayfe one of the most vexatious
and annoying features of an active busi
ness, and upon this point Commissioner
Mastey says, in referen e to the New' Or
leans bureau:
‘‘Claim Department.—We have handled
413 claims. Of this number 230 have been
paid, 58 have been withdrawn for various
reasons, 23 have been declined by the
bureau and 21 by the railroad companies;
81 are still undergoing investigation. Al
though this work has not been compensa
tory from a financial standpoint, still it is
a great convenience to our patrons, all of
whom, so far as we know', are well satis
fied w ith the results of our efforts toward
obtaining prompt and satisfactory adjust
ments.”
In his work Commissioner Mas
ters is only loooking to the
interests of New Orleans, and
that he has, on every hand, exhibited the
most consummate skill and ability in his
aggresssive campaign to blanket over
every inch of territory on the two conti
nets with the commerce of the Crescent
city, is all to his credit, and has won for
him a foremost place for his splendid
achievements in his chosen field of use
fulness as set forth in his annual re
port. But he must pause at the Rubicon
that marks the boundary line of Savan
nah’s trade in Florida or he may suffer
the fate of another great commander
in his greed for more territory to aggran
dize his state.
Florida Raes.—Upon demand of the
Florida Central and Peninsular railway,
the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
early in the monh of June,published a line
of rates from New' Orleans to Mount
Pleasant, Quincy, Midway, Tallahassee,
and other points on tho Florida Central
and Peninsular railway considerably
higher than those that had previously
been in effect. We made this a matter of
correspondence with G. F. A. Welch of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and
through his efforts the rates were put
back to substantially the same figures as
those previously in effect. We are also
giving attention to rates to Florida points
in general, believing that If a better rati
can be had than now exists that New’ Or
leans w ill be able to do a much more
extensive trade in that state, especially
In competition w ith New’ York.
Hereis an argument for abureau to pre-
Here is an argument for a bureau to pre
serve our terrritory, and a forcible argu
ment that te organization is demanded
immediately.
The need for a bureau for taking in
full charge the transportation and
freighting questions that conc%rn every
commercial and manufacturing com
munity is pressing itself home as shown
by the following paragraph taken from
the close of Commissioner Master’s re
port, and bristles with significance.
Organization of Freight Bureaus.—
Since the organization of this bureau,
other southern cities have awakened to
a realization that they also need a similar
institution. Galveston and Fort Worth
have bureaus fully organized, while
Charleston, Savannah, Chattanooga,
Houston, Dallas and Waco, we learn,
have taken steps and expect to soon have
theirs in operation. We have had quite
a correspondence with a number of prom
inent business men at seme of the points
mentioned, furnishing whatever informa
tion we could that would facilitate their
effortF.
If Savannah accomplishes the organi
zation of a bureau, to w'hich end our
active canvass for its support is now be
ing made, and which foreshadows com
plete success, much will be due to Com
missioner Masters for his practical il
lustrations of the work demanding such
organizations to protect and preserve tho
very life of commercial cities, and the un
tiring courtesy with which he has re
sponded to every call upon him for in
formation that has enabled such an in
telligent presentation of the necessity for
and value of a freight and transporta
tion bureau to be made to the people of
Savannah, as o win the sympathy and
support of every class in the effort now
under way to organize one for Savannah’s
protection. D. G. Purse.

MIGHT .SAVE SIOO,OOO A YEAR.
Mr. Wamnd’s Su*;estion to Turpen
tine Ken.
It seems a strange anomaly, that the
whole civilized world uses rosin to man
ufacture a number of varieties of glue or
size for various technical purposes, es
pecially in the paper trade, yet about the
only trade that does not use rosin glue is
tho turpentine operator himself, who pre
fers to send SIOO,OOO annually to the ani
mal glue manufacturer.
One hundred thousand dollars to pay for
a single little item like glueing barrels,
seems Incredible, but this estimate Is
quite conservative. Every turpentine farm
produces to the still about 600 barrels of
spirits. Each barrel has to be glued once,
many two and three limes before they
will hold spirits without leaking. Each
glueing coneumes from 1 1-2 to 2 pounds of
glue, costing for a good quality 9 1-2 to 10
cents per pound or about 20 cents per bar
rel on an average. If a cheap glue is used,
and some can be had as low as 4 cents per
pound. The cost is about the same, as It
takes about twice as much poor glue as
good glue, to render a spirit barrel tight.
At a cost of 20 cent* per barrel each still
consume:) s!fo's worth of glue each year.
A large number of barrels rein hes the va
rious naval store poets In a leaky condi
tion and have to be emptied and glued.
For tills a charge of 25 cent* Is made.
With 8)0 lo 1,000 turpentine stills using
each sloo’s worth of glue, the amount or
neo will be found within hound. If the
rost of turning leaking spirits barrels Is
add'd, it will exceed that amount consid
erably. . , , ,
The glue that can be made from rosin or

A BALTiaOSEAN IN SAVANNAH.
Hs Listens to an Able Divine and Pays
the City a Compliment.
Mr. J. Frank Supplee, in the Baltimore
Telegram of Sept. 29, in an account of "A
September Southern Trip,” gives an in
teresting resume of a sermon by one
of this city’s best known and ablest di
vines, and adds the usual compliments
that visitors pay to Savannah. He says:
We worshipped at St. John’s P. E.
church. Rev. C. H. Strong is the rec
tor. He is in our judgment one of the
strongest thinkers and most eloquent of
pulpit orators in the south. He speaks
without notes, and his gesticulation is as
graceful as his elocution is perfect in In
tonation and pronunciation, free from all
mannerisms or platform affectations. We
venture modestly to attempt to reproduce
a few of the thoughts in his discourse.
His text was: “That those things which
cannot be shaken may remain.”—He
brews xii, 27. Adam was probably the
first moral being—there may have been
generations of sentient beings before
him, and he may have been the result of
a gradual growth or evolution in moral
sensibilities; he was the first to possess a
moral conscience. (This may be an old
theory to scientific theologians, but it was
new to us.) He stated in the world there
was a large class of people, who from a
heredity of ancestors had been trained in
a school of scripture teaching and wor
shipful faith and veneration, so well that
no doubt of the truth of the Bible, or of
the Christian plan of salvation, ever arose
in their minds, and duty was a pleasure,
worship a delight; but there was another
class not so favored with pious ancestry,
who found it difficult to embrace the be
lief of others. They come to the preacher
in his study for assistance in their doubts,
young men generally, but not always, for
men of riper years came, too, having read
the works of Tyndal, Huxley and Spen
cer, thoughtful, earnest seekers for light
and truth. To such, more particularly,
ho addressed his remarks, and ids ser
mon was an endeavor to reason with them
from nature or from natural religion out
side of divine revelation, the force and
necessity of belief and of holy living.
Ho said there are things in the scripture
that some men shy from like a horse from
an object by the wayside that alarms it,
and they are not to be blamed, for if any
one would claim that the awful slaughter
wreaked by Israel upon her enemies, the
bloodthirsty deeds of revenge and mur
der were ordered by God, such a one was
unworthy of toleration.
The sacred history records the progress
of savage and barborous people toward
civilization, and the patient dealings of
Jehovah with them. To thoughtful men
the impression must come that existence
does not end with this life, that there
must be a life beyond of reward or pun
ishment, otherwise we are worse off than
tho beasts of the field, for they are not
worried by harrowing moral thoughts,
fears and misgivings.
There is no justice if there is no contin
ued existence, for we see the good, the
useful carried off by the touch of pesti
lence, while the bad and the worthless
remain. The shaft of death brings down
the noble youth just on the threshold of
life and success, while it passes harmless
ly by the aged and withered form, bent
with many years of dissipation, and
whose span of life seemed running to
waste. Every nation that has ever been
discovered, excepting possibly a tradi
tional tribe in the far away South Pa
cific, has had a universal feeling of wor
ship, and a hope of a hereafter.
Compare the teachings of Christ, Its
breadth and universality, with that of
any other religious leader, does It not
commend itself to the earnest seeker for
truth? But ignoring all revelation as not
germalne to his theme, the precaher said
to his hearers, for them if necessary, to
search the sayings of Plato, Socrates and
Buddha, who lived six hundred years be
fore Jesus, or even the writings of later
day atheists, such as the eloquent Inger
soi), and if you find a nobler sentiment, a
grander reliance than in Christ, use It,
and God who soest the hearts of all men
and Judges their intentions, may bless
you in this truth. Having found the truth
It will necessarily cause you to first, be
lieve in a true moral God and another
state of existence, and second, if you be
lieve in such a moral Being, to whom you
aro responsible, it will cause you to form
and maintain a true character, which wilt
be pleasant to this moral governor, and
will be rewarded by him.
Savannah is a lovely city, and is with
out a rival in America for beauty and
restful happiness. All through It aio
squares, containing noble statuary of lo
cal heroes, who have distinguished them
selves in the annals of American history.
Broad avenues paved with smooth as
phalt, court-yards of flowers, and shrub
bery surround the well built, airy resi
dences. The city is laid out on broad com
prehensive plans, there is no stinginess of
ground, which is so conspicuous in
Charleston street* or those of eastern
cities. A* pne looks over the city in every
direction hi* eyes see green trees, well
kept grass plats and shrubbery, a scene
of tropical loveliness and southern beauty.

THE HUMAN FACE.
The Mind's Thoughts Are All Expressed
There, but Few Can Read Them.
From the Baltimore Sun.
"In every person’s countenance stands
clearly written his history, hts hatred
and love; his innermost nature steps
forth Into light. Yet not every one can
read It, nor can every one understand It.”
These words of the German poet Und
their eorrdboration In a recent paper of
Dr. Louis Robinson on "Static Physiog
nomy,” or the sdense "w.hlubc treats of
the Interpretation of habitual expression
when the countenance is at rest."
Seneca observes “that there Is no strong
inward thought that does not betray
Itself In the countenance," but Dr. Rob
inson contends that every emotion, how
ever slight, sends an Impulse to the ap
proprlatt muscles. Even trivial nerve
Impulses, unnoticed by the subject him
self and imperceptible to lookers-on. may
by frequent repltltlon become efficient
factors In the formation of an habitual
cast of countenance. Every expression
of the face results from the contraction
of definite muscles by means of the
nerves, and as those muscles are most
strengthened which are most exercised, it
Is easy to Infer the effect of a long-con
tinued dominat emotion on the face, even
though It may exist in the Individual too
w r ell bred to allow his visage to be dis
torted by the prevailing passion.
Whenever the thoughts take their ha
bitual direction, a stream of nervous In
fluence form the brain to the hidden ex
pression muscles Is the Inevitable con
comitant. Tho subject himself may be
unwarned as to what is going on, and
the closest observer may not notice the
vaguest tremor of movement. Yet. In
the course, of years, the 'muscles so
stimulated assert themselves over the
others, and a permanent facial Impres
sion In accordance with the mental char
acter is formed.
This Incessant flow of related Involun
tray nerve currents to the facial muscles
accounts for the odd similarity of vis
age among persons of the same avoca
tion, and for the likeness which Is often
displayed on the faces of married couples.
An unconscious mimicry, moreover. In
both cases Is continually reacting upon
the muscles of expression In the same
way as a ruling passion does, and this
tendency to facial Imitation Is very gen
eral.
The connection between the emotional
centers In the brain and the countenance
Is largely Independent of the will, al
though. by strong volition, any conse
quent movement or change of features
may be prevented or restricted. That the
association Is Instinctive and not ac
quired through Individual or racial educa
tion Is shown by the fact that the facial
changes which accompany the sentiments
of fear, hatred, contempt, merriment or
mockery aie practically Identical the
world over.
The xigns by which to read a face are
different. We naturally Interpret those
on a young face as merely prophetic,
while those of an old visage disclose a
record. In the one case we proceed from
the supposition that certain features be
tray certain trails of moral and mental
charcter; In the other we peruse the
facial inscription as we read a book
whose author we know. The typos are,
of course, not uniform In nil case* arid
Interpretation I* difficult. Trouble or
pas*lon may be recorded In bold charac
ter* In one Instance; In another In hardly
visible traces, and a lean face will betray
emotional experience more resdily than
one covered with a mask of fat ami a
smooth skin.
